We are in the Echo Zone!

Have you ever travelled to a hilly area and experienced the echo of your own voice? I remembered when we used to be kids in school and visited such places with our class mates, it was fun to tease our school mates by some humorous comments about them in a louder voice and then to hear the echo of the same comments. There were some of us who would say some positive stuff and there were some who used to say some naughty stuff.
The “echo†does not differentiate between those comments and just returns the same comments multiple times.
Our life is similar to that “echo zoneâ€; we are free to choose our own set of behaviors, beliefs and actions in life. If they are positive and enriching to others then we will receive in abundance what we had emitted like an echo which repeats the same word many times around the valley. But on the flip side if unfortunately we are currently emitting negative back-biting behaviors and are also engaged in dirty office politics, and we are demonstrating leg pulling attitudes then we should be careful, as the echo of the same stuff will return back to us manifold at some point in time.
In history you might be familiar with so many noble leaders and good hearted people who have gone from this world but this world is still hearing the echoes of what they have said and practiced in their lives . They set the highest standard of human character and demonstrated depth of patience and forgiveness for others.
This world still remembers them and quotes what these leaders have said in their lives. Don’t you think that the legacy which they have left in the form of words and actions are actually their “echoes†which we are still heard even after so many years have gone by?
So decide today which “Echo†you would like to leave as a legacy in this world once you are gone forever.
